NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 GEORGE ENRIGHT

Here’s a “not so missing” 1977 card for a two-game Major Leaguer, former White Sox catcher George Enright, who despite nine years in the Minor Leagues, only got the briefest of Big League action:


Enright finally made it up to the Majors in August of 1976 after five seasons of Minor League ball, then getting into his second, and last, game about a month later, going 0-1 at the plate while spending seven innings behind the plate.
Sadly for him that would all he’d get, as he’d be back in the Minors for 1977, where he’d stay through the 1980 season before retiring for good at the age of only 26.
Nevertheless, he got to taste that Big League magic for two games, more than any of us can say. Cheers George!
